Question

Tap the correct answer:
Find out whether the fraction $\frac{4}{10}$ is in the simplest form or not?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B No

$\frac{4}{10}$
Factors of 4 (Numerator): 1, 2 and 4
Factors of 10 (Denominator): 1, 2, 5 and 10.

If the numerator and denominator of a fraction "have common factors", then that fraction is "not in simplest form".

Common factor of 4 and 10 are 1, 2.
So, $\frac{4}{10}$ is not in its simplest form.
